Their defense is underrated.” Dickson says Orem reminds him of the Weber team that beat Davis in the 1985 4-A finals. That Weberteam had great receivers, as does Orem. The Tigers’ tandem of Lanny Robison and Justin Anderson burned Skyline last week with speed and toughness. “Did you see the way their receivers battled for the ball?” said Dickson. “They're so physical. That scares me more than their speed.” Oddly, these teams have only met three times, even though Davis has been playing football since 1915 and Orem since 1929. The Darts, 5-8 in title games,will try to break a four-game losing streak in state championship contests. Orem is 4-6 in the big one, havinglost 7-3 to Skyline in last year’sfirst 5-A final. Tribune Pick: Although Dickson says, “You getto this point, you play your best players,” Oremis the deeper team with only one full-time, two-way player (quarterback-safety Randy Lamoreaux). Davis has five or six guys who go both ways. Look for the Tigers to win this one late. Orem by 3. $268 statetitle drought. Jordan, 10-3 in championship games, last won a football crown in 1950. Bear River is 0-4 in title contests. Jordan will also be gunningforits 400th win. Both coaches say they would prefer dry weather, although both think poor conditions favor Bear River.

We got ‘here [to Salt Lake]justasit start‘ed snowing,”he said. © An omen? Maybe, but the Panthers are living right. And, after much pregame talk in St. ‘George, Pine View doesn’t care if thereis snow today. There may be a blizzard by the 7:30 p.m. kick- ‘off, but Uintah will finally be on the opposite sideline. “We comefrom each endof the tate, so we don't know much bout each other,” Turley said. “But we both like to run the bail, ‘90 we'll try to beat each other with whatwe dobest. © “Especially if it’s snowing and ec wet, we'll keep running the 1.” power sunroof, leather & wood appointed, dual air bags, 4 wheel ABS, keyless remote entry security system, much much more leather & wood appointed, Bose audio yer, dual air bags, 4 wheel remote entry system, and much more emergency.This is only the start of your “Total Ownership Experience.” We invite you to comein and “Guest Drive” an Infiniti today.

However, PAT kicker CarsonCallister, the 140-pounder who had the crowd buzzing with somebig hits last week, has been sore and stiff after suffering a neck stinger and “is touch and go.” Jordan’s Birch wants it “nice and dry” so quarterback Spencer Morris can run the option effectively, pitching to stellar backs Matt Powell, Shane Evans and Lance Kener. Both teams are deep and use few,if any, two-way players. Jordan beat Bear River 16-7 in the second gameof the season at Bear River. What does Parry rememberabout that game? “The quickness of Morris and Powell caught us off guard,” he said, ‘‘and we misseda lot ofas- signments in the secondary.” TribunePick: Bear River hasn't lost a game since sophomore quarterback Coby Reese took over, but Jordan’s win over Mountain Crest was too overwhelming to ignore.

A senior, Williams has gained about 1,100 yards andcould be tough for Uintah to bring down. Sowill the rest of the Panthers, since they will own a definite size advantage. Pine View has 12 players that weigh 200 pounds or more. Uintah hassix. “We have better size and strength, but they havea little bit better team speed,” said Turley, after watching Uintah onfilm. Turley also feels Pine View is better prepared. The Panthers played in tough Region9, and also took on Las Vegas Western, which was ranked No. 1 in Nevada atthe time. Uintah will counter the Pauthers with running backs Rhett Deets and D.J. Lewis. The Utes also played in a competitive region and came out undefeated. Uintah and Pine View have two common opponents. Uintah beat Wasatch handily (20-0), as did Pine View (23-0). Both teams beat Dixie, but the Panthers were more impressive. Tribunepick: If Pine View can hold onto theball, look for Williams to wear down Uintah and give the Panthers their first football state title. It will be low scoring andtlose.
